Just a little install bug when installing from SVN on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04 with python 2.6.2, but probably common to all distros).
When I use python setup.py install, the libs are not copied to site-packages/, as explained in the README file, but to dist-packages/.
Thus, launching the uniconv command leads to:

Workaround: manually copy the libs from the source build directory to site-packages/.

Another question. Do you plan to activate the Lauchpad bug page for UniConverter?
The project page exists, but is not very useful. And using the Ubuntu package for debugging SVN is not very convenient.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your replie!

Of course I used sudo (I'm on Ubuntu). As I explained, the files ARE installed. But not in the good location. Could it be something in my env?
Never noticed that before, but I usually install packages via Synaptic.

Regards.

It's just a python 2.6 feature. On Ubuntu this also supports "dist-packages" which is parallel to "site-packages" and is intended to keep distribution installed modules from overwriting locally installed ones.

So you can prepare package for UniConvertor and install it. This way is a preferable because you can control UniConvertor installation via Synaptic.
